Greg-Timm is a songwriter and has a large amount of his own original material. Usually strong, heavy guitar based music with strong musical hooks & vocals. As a solo artist, he provides most of the musicianship and vocals you will be hearing. (except the drums are programmed)
"I come from a very musical family so I when I did start to play guitar, I had plenty of very good teachers and many great sources for inspiration. I am into very heavy strong sounding guitar based music. Whether it's Rock, Metal, Blues, Jazz, Classical, or Acoustic Roots type of music, I enjoy it if the musicianship is there. I do my very best to translate this into everything I play and sing."
Started playing at an early age. Received the Virtuoso Award from the Long Island Music Teachers Assoc. @ the age of 17. Played in many bands, many different styles of music, but usually Hard Rock driven music. Always wrote my own songs so I was very eager to start an all-original rock band. I wound up fronting these bands because I could not find a singer that could sing the notes I could. Later, worked heavily to improve on my voice (Tenor) and will always do my best to sing with conviction and feel. And because I am always pushing to improve my playing, I enjoy jamming with new players. And try to learn something new all the time. In the meantime, I have also done some studio work for other artists. Most professional gig so far was when I recorded with Richard "Marley" Booker (Bob Marley's Brother) on his Medicine Man CD. (go to BobMarleyMovement.Com or to his Myspace page listed as Richard Marley Booker. I play the lead guitar parts on the song Station Revelation, which you can hear on his site.) I was surprised he wanted my heavy driven guitar style in his music but we worked well together and I liked what came out of it.
Now I am working on some new songs that I am very excited about. I am polishing up the recordings and working on getting the sounds I want. Hopefully, with some luck, it will be finished this year. It will be a mix of Heavy Blues Rock & Progressive Metal !!!
And also, play in a three piece Power rock/metal band called THREE-WAY-CRASH. We get together when we can, and are talking about hitting the clubs again. Three Way Crash has more of a progressive style and we don't worry too much about extending a song if we can make it more fun to play. The idea about this band there is no leader, and each person plays whatever he wants during the song. Usually this is a recipe for noise, but with these musicians, it works out great for all involved. Hope to get a Band page on this site for Three Way Crash soon.
